A local organization called "Bikers Against Trafficking" hopes to raise money to purchase land and build six houses in Seminole County for survivors of human trafficking.

  • Group looking for housing location in Seminole

The non-profit organization currently provides survivors with counseling and addiction treatment services at its office located at 1349 S. International Parkway in Heathrow.

President of the organization, Joseph Nave, said there is limited housing available for survivors after they receive treatment.

Nave hopes to solve the problem by purchasing at least two acres of land to build six houses.

Each home will house four survivors and a residence staff.

Nave said he is still searching for the perfect location in Seminole County.

"It has to be the perfect place, we don't want it in the middle of a dangerous place. We want it much more relaxed, so kind of on the outskirts, so we are just looking to see where we can find it," said Joseph Nave, President of Bikers Against Trafficking.

Nave is currently pitching the idea to local businesses, trying to raise awareness and money.

Bikers Against Trafficking is also holding a fundraiser at the Seminole Harley-Davidson Store on Dec. 2.

The store is located at 620 Hickman Cir in Sanford. The fundraiser will start at noon and end at 6 p.m.
